Subject: [PATCH] fix(wcp): normalize path separators on pack for
 cross-platform reads

WCP packs created on Windows would store paths with backslashes;
unpack on Linux/macOS would either fail the path-traversal check
('\' treated as absolute prefix) or land each file as a single
opaque filename rather than a directory tree. Normalize to '/' on
write so the format is portable in both directions.
